This is part of the Museum's new display demonstrating the use of electricity in waterworks. In addition to electrically driven pumps, this part of the display includes generation (the Reader steam engine driven dynamo), rectification (a mercury arc rectifier in the grey cabinet) and switching (old open switch gear on the end wall and a 1980s control panel to the right). The layout and interpretation of this room is exemplary. It was the first time I had seen this in its completed state and I was most impressed.
